Philadelphia’s Dr Dog are sharing a new single, Heart Killer, the latest to be taken from their forthcoming album Critical Equation, due for release via We Buy Gold Records/Thirty Tigers on April 27, 2018. This new single trails the Consequence of Sound-approved Go Out Fighting and Billboard-supported Buzzing In The Light, emerging as the latest offering from the new album which find Gus Seyffert (previously The Black Keys, Beck) in the producer’s chair. Dr. Dog will support the new release with autumn 2018 UK tour dates, these to be announced shortly.
The slick psych-rock of ‘Heart Killer’ finds the band lyrically grappling with heart break whilst weaving their penchant for catchy melodies and delicate harmonies throughout the music. Critical Equation broke tradition for the band, opting to record in Los Angeles with Seyffert as opposed to their own ‘Meth Beach’ studios, the path to the record followed an extended break giving time for the band to re-evaluate; “We’d been touring and making records for our entire adult lives, and I think we just needed to take a step back,” reflects Leaman. ‘It was important for all of us to figure out if we were actually doing what we wanted to be doing, or if we were just letting momentum carry us down this path we’d always been on.’
Dr. Dog have achieved multiple Top 50-charting albums in the US, performed on the likes of Letterman, Fallon and Conan and received widespread critical acclaim as well as touring with The Black Keys, Wilco, My Morning Jacket and The Lumineers.
